After nearly a year in ICE jail, scammer socialite Anna "Delvey" Sorokin has been discharged and will be deported from the United States.
Anna Sorokin is scheduled to fly to Frankfurt on Monday night. According to one close source, Sorokin, 31, is outraged over her deportation because she had filed an appeal to stay in the United States. On April 19, the appeal was scheduled to be heard. She's been detained in the Orange County Correctional Facility in Goshen, New York, since March 25 on suspicion of overstaying her visa. She'll be on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday, according to reports.
Who is Anna Delvey?
Anna Delvey Sorokin and three other ICE inmates sued federal immigration officials last month after receiving COVID-19 while in detention. Sorokin's life and misdeeds are glamorized in the Netflix smash "Inventing Anna." According to the ACLU's case filed in federal court, Sorokin tested positive for the virus on Jan. 19, weeks after she submitted a written request for a follow-up vaccination injection that went unanswered, as per New York Post.
Anna Delvey was the pen name of Anna Sorokin, a German lady who moved to New York in 2013. Sorokin claimed to be a wealthy German heiress under the fictitious name to get a foothold in New York's social scene. She used that alias until 2017, when the Manhattan District Attorney's Office began investigating her for bank fraud.
In actuality, Sorokin's parents were from low-income families. Before becoming a housewife, her father worked as a truck driver, while her mother worked as a convenience store owner.
She was born in Domodedovo, near Moscow, in January 1991 and relocated to Germany with her family when she was 16 years old. She started going by the name Delvey in Paris. "do not recognize the surname," her parents stated, Independent reported.
Anna Sorokin's Charges
She was caught for the first time in July 2017 when she skipped out on thousands of dollars in outstanding bills at two New York City hotels, the Beekman and the W New York, then dined and ran after lunch at the Le Parker Meridien. In September of that year, Sorokin was supposed to appear in court, but he never showed up.
The Manhattan District Attorney set up a covert operation with the Los Angeles Police Department and detained her again a few months later, in October. City National Bank, according to the indictment, authorized Sorokin to overspend her account by $100,000.
She was able to maintain $55,000 in the account, but she squandered these cash on personal costs in around one month' with luxurious hotel stays, high-end fashion purchases, and personal training sessions.
She was found guilty of second-degree larceny, theft of services, and attempted first-degree larceny in 2019. Sorokin, on the other hand, was found not guilty of the most serious accusation, attempted grand larceny in the first degree, in connection with a $22 million loan she sought from City National Bank.
Rachel DeLoache Williams, who worked in the picture department of Vanity Fair magazine and was defrauded of $62,000, was also acquitted of stealing from her. In 2017, the two went on a $7,000-per-night villa vacation to Morocco with a group of friends. Sorokin had promised to cover the cost of the trip, but she never did.
Anna Sorokin used the $320,000 she obtained for selling her life story to Netflix to clear her debts and pay her state fines. However, she was detained again by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities less than a month later for overstaying her visa.
She has been jailed at the Orange County Correctional Facility since then, where she has expressed her dissatisfaction with the conditions. Sorokin also claims in court records that she is now impoverished and that she was awarded "poor person's relief" when she filed her appeal against her conviction. Sorokin paid $100,000 to City National Bank, $70,000 to Citibank, $75,000 in legal expenses, and another $24,000 in fines from the money she earned from the lucrative Netflix contract, leaving roughly $51,000 in the bank.
Sorokin does not appear to have paid the $35,400 she owes Blade, Uber's air taxi service, for a charter trip from New Jersey to Omaha, Nebraska, to attend Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder's meeting. She also doesn't appear to have paid the $23,000 she owes to Signature Bank. The "poor person's relief" gives her money from the court to pay the expense of submitting her appeal and other legal costs, Daily Mail reported.
